We study fairness when receivers in a multicast network can not subscribeto fractional layers. This case arises whenthe source hierarchically encodes its signal and the hierarchical structureis predetermined. Unlike the ...

In semiconductor manufacturing, run-to-run (RtR) control is paid moreand more attention. In this paper a set-valuedRtR control scheme is introduced. Different from conventional RtR controlmethods, the set-valued method ...

This paper considers the problem of designing a network to transport material from sources of supply to sites where demand occurs. However, the demand at each site is uncertain. We formulate the problem as a robust discrete ...

Despite the well-known benefits of physical units, matrices,and matrix algebra in engineering computations,most engineering analysis packages are essentially dimensionless.They simply hold the engineer responsible for ...

This paper presents a fast Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithm to solve Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDP) prob﫠lem. The proposed algorithm is devised to provide a policyשּׂaking frame﫠work for Network ...

We study fairness in arbitrary networks with multicast capabilities.Multicast traffic in internet and ATM provides a motivationfor studying these networks. A study of fairness in multicastnetworks poses several interesting ...

In this paper, we give a summary of recent development of simulation-based algorithmsfor average cost MDP problems, which are different from those for discounted cost problems or shortest pathproblems. We introduce both ...

This paper examines a network design problem that arises in the telecommunications industry. In this problem, communication between a gateway vertex and a number of demand vertices is achieved through a network of fiber ...
